Rengar vs Shyvana

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Use early brush control and aggressive invades to disrupt Shyvana's fast clears and delay her scaling.
Prioritize river brush to contest Scuttle and create picks with (R) before dragon or Herald fights.

Jungle Plan

Invade Shyvana's jungle when her position is tracked and lanes can cover your escape.
Fight for river control and Scuttle only when lane priority allows safe engagements.
Convert picks from (R) stealth hunts into objective setups like dragon or Rift Herald to deny her scaling.

Danger windows

Avoid fights when Shyvana has dragon form (R) active and can engage with displacement.
Do not contest objectives or river fights without lane priority or when your Smite and mobility cooldowns are down.
Beware of isolated jungle skirmishes after using your mobility or crowd control, as Shyvana can punish with sustained damage.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear focusing on brush-heavy routes to maximize early pressure and safe pathing.
Only contest first Scuttle if nearby lanes have priority to collapse and secure the fight.
Avoid direct river fights early without lane support; favor counter-invades when Shyvana is on opposite side.

Power spikes

Exploit Rengar's level 3 empowered (E) root and brush leap for strong early dueling and invade windows.
Respect Shyvana's mid-game dragon form and item spikes by avoiding isolated fights without vision or lane priority.
Push harder when (R) is available to force picks and create objective advantages.

Win conditions

Use brush control and (R) picks to snowball leads and deny Shyvana camps and scaling.
Translate jungle tempo into repeated ganks on priority lanes to maintain river control and objective pressure.
Counter-jungle safely when lanes have priority to delay her dragon form power spikes and force unfavorable fights.
